Rutabaga, a family-owned and operated business, is the nation's leading canoe and kayak shop with a boat for every type of paddler. Our staff are all paddlers, even our accountant, our MIS guy and our part-time janitor. If you want the best customer service, give us a shot and you'll be a customer for life. Want to test paddle a boat to make sure it's the right one? Why wait for a random demo day, when everyday at Rutabaga is a demo day?!

Dan just got off a 6 day trip on “The River of No Return” Wild and Scenic Main Salmon in Idaho. High water, great weather, and wonderful people. Cowboy camping along the way he kept spiders and critters out of his boat with the Rutabaga Vinyl Cockpit Cover. :) Never leave home or store your boat without one!

LAST CALL 📣 🤗

Still thinking on that dream custom built Swift canoe or kayak this summer? What if we told you it would be in your hands and on the water by the end of June if ordered by June 10th! We are expecting a truck then and there is still time and room to get your new boat on it.

Operators are standing by.

We also have some beautiful Swift boats in stock and ready to rock! See you on the water.
